The Savage King (Lords of the Var #1) Audiobook
Audiobook. Cat-Shifter Romance. Book One in the Lords of the Var series. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance.
Narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo
Ulyssa Payne is a seasoned HIA undercover agent, not the type to end up stranded on a primitive planet for three months with no extraction in sight. Yet here she is, stuck on Qurilixen with a blown mission, a broken communicator, and the distinct misfortune of being captured by a tribe of cat-shifter warriors who have never encountered a woman who fights back. She's been in worse situations. She'll find a way out.
What she didn't plan for is the king dying. The cat-shifter prince who takes the throne moves like something born to hunt, with eyes that track her every move, and he turns out to be something she can't strategize her way around.
Cat-shifter King Kirill was raised on his father's doctrine: a king stands alone, beholden to no woman, ruled by duty above all else. He never expected to inherit the crown this soon, and he never expected his most troublesome prisoner to be so deeply, inconveniently impossible to ignore. She argues with him. She defies him. She makes the weight of the throne feel lighter, and he doesn't know what to do with that.
He won't beg. She won't say it. And neither of them has much time before her Agency ship arrives.
Some kings conquer kingdoms. This one can't conquer her.

The Savage King is Book One in the Lords of the Var series. Cat-shifter king. Defiant captive. The kind of slow burn that costs you sleep. Kirill was raised to believe a king stands alone. Ulyssa was trained to never be anyone's prize. Then she walks into his court and ruins every rule he was ever taught.
